We’re living in loud, exhausting times. Everything asks for our attention, our outrage, our productivity, our certainty. Lent begins by saying we don’t have to meet the world at that pace.

Ash Wednesday is an invitation to pause. To tell the truth about our limits. To remember that we are finite, beloved, and in need of grace. In a culture that rewards performance and denial, Lent offers a different way, one shaped by honesty, humility, and care for one another.

Join us as we begin this season together, making space for reflection, prayer, and connection, both in person and online.
